We had no idea that the food there would be this amazing. If we missed something, make sure to let us know in the comments, so we can try it next time.

You were mixing up Ulster and Northern Ireland quite a lot .Northern ireland is in Ulster,but not all of ulster is northern ireland ,3 of the nine coubties of ulster are in the republic

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

Belfast has always had soul, now we're showing it to the world. Thanks for coming over. Loved the vlog and please come back soon, peace and love G👍

[@andrewmorrison5701]

I was born in Sydney to Belfast parents, I lived in Belfast for three years from 1996 and was fortunate enough to vote yes for the Good Friday Agreement. I am just so proud of how far my beloved Belfast has come and I am always so chuffed to see people enjoying it’s amazingness. Long live peace

[@sammni]

Don’t listen to the Bigots complaining about the Union Jack 🇬🇧 posted on your thumbnail Putting the tricolour and Union Jack on the thumbnail was the best choice This is the constant hatred and bigotry that divides this small country You do an amazing video on our small country and they’re offended by a flag that represents over half the country

[@wherearewe-yt]

It's literally impossible to please everyone. You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. In our first Belfast video, we only had the Union Jack. Then we had people get mad about that. So we put the Irish flag as well. Then people get mad at that. If there were a proper Northern Irish flag to use, we'd just use that..but we can't. Haha. It's sad when people focus on something like that, instead of just watching and enjoying the video. 😕

[@sammni]

@@wherearewe-yt Yeah don’t worry about it…. The tricolour 🇮🇪 and 🇬🇧 is the best compromise in Northern Ireland definitely Two rules in Northern Ireland for visitors 1. No queue jumping 2. No politics And somehow you’re still dragged in as a tourist 🤦‍♂️ 😂

As a kid and way before my generation (82) Maine was in glass bottles and people would get it delivered to their front doors via the Milk Man.

[@wherearewe-yt]

That is so strange, but awesome. Hahaha. What were your favourite flavours growing up?? We really weren't sure what to try.

[@buaidhnobas3925]

Milkman would have deliverd milkmans orange as we called it. Lemonade man had their own lorrys.

The Maine man still delivers the lemonade in glass bottles around the doors. Drinking it from a plastic bottle will not be the same. Loved your video and glad you enjoyed your trip to our wee city. 👌🇬🇧

[@SoulLegendsRadio]

The 'Maine Man' still delivers glass bottles right around Northern Ireland, Growing up in the 70s and 80s my fave flavours were Sarsparella, Raspberry, Cream Soda and pineapple, shout out to Scottish Kola too

You missed out on a Tayto Crisp sandwich.. white bread, mayo and your favourite tayto crisp.. add a slice of cheese if you want to be adventurous.. top tier NI food! Great video by the way! Glad you loved our our we country ❤

Brilliant review of my home town... Brown lemonade used to be given warmed up on a winters day. Our pancakes can be eaten savoury and sweet. You covered loads, love you appetite for our food. Well done💚💚💚

[@wherearewe-yt]

We're happy you enjoyed the video! We did our best to include as many local food items as we could - and tried to include things we've never seen others try on KZbin. Ended up being a much longer video than we intended. 😅 Everything was super delicious though, so we wanted to show it all!

[@joecarson3379]

I remember being in London and ordering a vodka and white lemonade for someone and the barman asked me "well, what other kind of lemonade is there?". I replied "brown.". You've never seen a blanker look on a person's face than that fellas...

[@simonscott7312]

Great video guys. I live about 20 minutes outside Belfast on the east coast. Tayto crisps are immense especially the Wuster sauce ones.

[@wherearewe-yt]

Thanks for watching! I think we both agreed the Wuster were the best. We had the Prawn Cocktail after this video as well, and loved those, too!

[@mikeandashley]

That breakfast roll at the beginning of the video looked SOOOO good! 🤤 And that whiskey room looked like the place out of a dream! Northern Ireland looks like a really cool place to explore. Great video guys! 🙏

[@wherearewe-yt]

Everything was so good! And that whiskey room was super cool. Highly recommend you guys visit Belfast when you make it over to Europe!

[@geraldnesbitt2123]

D'Arcy,s is my favourite Glad you enjoyed your visit

[@wherearewe-yt]

It was incredible! That seafood chowder was actually a fantastic deal for the amount of seafood inside. The lamb was really great as well. Pretty sure it was our favorite restaurant of the trip. Glad we have over a week to spend in Belfast because we absolutely loved it.

[@DN-sy6xx]

The bread you ate with the Seafood Chowder, is Wheaten bread

[@22seanmurphy]

Hi guy's that was absolutely brilliant and the food 😋 I've only been to Northern Ireland three times as i have loads of uncles and aunties in the south and go there a lot as its very cheap to stay with them 😊, the food in Ireland is so good and fresh and your chowder looked so thick and full of fish and shellfish and the breakfast and the Irish stew but not as good as my mum god bless her, Guinness is all so good and creamy, and all the puds 😋, next time i watch another one of your vlogs I'm going to where a bib to catch the drooling lol, one of the best 40 minutes of TV I've watched in a long time i thoroughly enjoyed it 😊, take care 🍻👋👋🙏

[@wherearewe-yt]

Thanks so much, Sean! We really appreciate it. We absolutely loved the food (and drinks) we had in Ireland. We did our best to feature as many classics as we could. I don't know that we've ever had a food video go longer than 30 minutes, but there were just so many items we wanted to feature - we couldn't help it. 😅 We will be dreaming about all of the chowder and delicious lamb dishes for a while. SO good!

Brandon your pronunciation of the word "Bap" was definitely so Belfast sounding! 😆Great video both of you! Being from NI, I love the wee different flairs of our traditional food and drinks. Obviously we take it for granted living here, but this was a great video to showcase some of the favs! Made me hungry! It must be said that we do enjoy some quite Artisan and more unique foods too! as you showcased here. NI Tayto Cheese & Onion are well known for the overpowering Onion flavour and make a great sandwich filler! Thanks for visiting and showing us some lovely food! Looks like the weather wasn't too bad either for once! 🌦👍

[@wherearewe-yt]

Hahaha. Second time someone has said that! It's the East Coast Canadian accent coming out. The food was so good. Literally every meal we had was super tasty. The only meal that was slightly disappointing was the "boxty" we had in our previous Belfast video, which wasn't really a boxty at all. There was a lot of rain throughout this trip as well, but through the power of editing, it seems like it never rained at all! Haha. It rained during the Tatyo scene, right before the traybakes, and while we were inside a few locations. We did get some brilliant moments of sunshine, though, and we took advantage of it when we could! Despite the rain, we had an amazing time.

[@lightoftheworld417]

If you visit Flout! there is also Boundary Brewing right across the way (in the background in this video) and they have a tap room, lots of IPA and Pales.

[@wherearewe-yt]

Dang! Wish we could have gone. We had a spot booked for the Titanic Museum right after we filmed at Flout, so this time we were in a bit of a rush. Typically we'd use any excuse to stop for a local craft beer. Hahaha.

[@12bigredd]

excellent, well done what a range you tried :):)

Tayto Group is the largest British-owned crisp and snack manufacturer, producing over five million packs a day across our five UK sites including our original factory at Tandragee Castle in the rolling hills of Northern Ireland. Founded by Thomas Hutchinson in 1956, we are still family-owned and our portfolio of much-loved brands has grown to include Golden Wonder, Mr Porky, REAL Crisps, The Real Pork Crackling Company, Midland Snacks and of course Tayto, Northern Ireland’s number one crisp brand. We also manufacture an extensive range of private label crisps and snacks for almost all the UK’s major retailers as well as exporting to every continent.

I’m so curious to see what that soda bread tastes like. Also that seafood chowder and pizza looked amazing ! Great video guys

Soda bread is the best. We were planning on bringing some back home, but we were low on space.. and also forgot. 😆

[@KirkhamWesham]

In the UK, the name for that "bap" changes with each region. Where I'm from, it's a barm, in Nottingham it's a cob, elsewhere it's a bap, bread roll, etc. That looks a delicious fry-up. Not sure I'd have a pancake with it though.

[@wherearewe-yt]

Hahaha. Makes it so much more confusing when you're not a local. You're right. The pancake didn't fit at all. It was the worst thing on the plate, for sure! Everything else was great. One fry-up item we still haven't tried is fried bread. I'm sure it's simple, but it always looks so good..

[@KirkhamWesham]

@@wherearewe-yt The dialect can be confusing for even us in the UK when we venture out of town 😂 Fried bread seems to be disappearing off the plate in replacement of hash browns. I've not had it for about 10 years or more. Hash browns are the lazy replacement of the greasy crunch of fried bread. They're a new addition to the English breakfast and haven't always been there.

[@radiatorbacon]

Great vid, if you are ever visiting again, you should take a tour of McConnells whiskey distillery in Crumlin road gaol. Amazing place, and amazing whiskey too which you can taste fresh off the still 😋

[@wherearewe-yt]

A whiskey tour would have been amazing! We will have to do one when we return to Ireland. 🥃

[@David-fl9iv]

I was hoping you would try Veda bread somewhere on your tour. Its a local malted black bread. You will find it in the supermarkets. Sunblest unsliced, is my favourite brand. :)

That sounds delicious! We love bread. I mean, Anja is German..she can basically eat bread for every meal and be satisfied. Hahaha. We'll have to try it next time!

If you get a chance, you should visit a local bakery, in whichever town/city you're visiting. There you can buy Soda Farls, wheaten farls and there's a chance of getting treacle farls, though you'd Have to visit earlier in the day usually before 11am

Ahhhh should have snagged a guiness in Kellys Cellar! thats the only place in the city ill drink it haha Also for Maine softdrinks, theres a lot of flavours, my favourite is always the pineapple! You can still get them delivered I think, but you used to get a guy going around on a truck and would deliver the glass bottles (it tastes better in the glass) like a milk float/van. And you used to leave back your bottles and got a discount on your other bottles! My grandparents swore by it and always always had a bottle or two in the fridge. You tried some great spots in the city for food, Fish City has my favourite chowder, little pricey but it comes with this Guiness Wheaten Bread that I would kill for! its so so good, but do come back when you can! Theres lots of other nice spots around the country, especially the antrim coast and up in Derry (not Londonderry) Im so so so glad you went to Flout, i live nearby (15 min walk which is great for lunch) and its so amazing. Real good job what Pete has accomplished and its a world class pizza. He has some amazing flavours, some are hit and miss, but mostly its solid! Theres a few lads over in Hi Burger nearby too and they do some killer burgers as well :D Anyway, i enjoyed the video keep it up!

[@wherearewe-yt]

We went to Kelly's and had a Guinness at the end our of first Belfast video, actually! We also went to Maddens for a Kilkenny as well (we were told by a local it was the best spot to get one). I'm glad someone finally commented about the Maine soda. We were very curious! That's too funny. We walked by Fish City at some point, and had it marked as a potential place to go. Ran outta time! All the food we had was so good. During the video, and when we weren't filming. FLOUT was incredible! You're lucky to live so close to it. It was hard editing that part. I was drooling! Hahaha. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed. 🍻

[@traceymarshall5886]

​@@wherearewe-ytyes this is not the Tayto from Republic of Ireland

[@aodhanmonaghan4664]

One thing I'll point out, is that Ulster is not synonymous with Northern Ireland. To use a German language equivalent, think of Northern Ireland as Germany, and Ulster as Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Belgium. Ulster is 9 counties in the North of the island of Ireland. 6 of those counties remained in the UK, while 3 gained independence, along with the entirety of the provinces of Leinster, Munster and Connacht. Despite the name Northern Ireland, the island isn't divided in two internationally. Northern Ireland is the North Eastern 20% of the island of Ireland. In fact, the most northerly point and northerly county of Ireland, Donegal, is an Ulster county within the Republic of Ireland

[@wherearewe-yt]

Thanks for all the info and clarification! 🍻

[@lightoftheworld417]

Cheese and Onion ftw You missed a trick not trying Beamish or Murphys at the Duke of York, both stouts very hard to find in Ireland outside of Cork. Have never tried Murphys but I do prefer Beamish to Guinness. Harp use to be brewed just across the border in Dundalk. Diageo have centralised operations to where everything is brewed in Dublin, Us craft beer drinkers are not a fan, too much monopoly over the taps in the North. All stems from the troubles where pubs were being bombed, only Guinness would supply finance but that meant contracts that would see them control what you can and cannot sell for 40+ years.

[@wherearewe-yt]

I used to work at an "Irish style Pub" in Toronto, Canada and we served Murphys on tap, rather than Guinness! I was considering trying one, for old times sake. Especially since I had already have a few pints of Guinness during this trip. I don't know that either of us have had Beamish before. We'll have to give it a go, next time we're Ireland. Cork is absolutely on our list! That's absolutely insane. Certainly did not know that. Maybe you can recommend us some craft beers and ciders for the next time we're in Ireland. We always try to make it a point to try both the local, more popular beers - as well as some craft places.

[@martinkelleher5662]

Looking at the prices that's expensive . I thought we wer expensive down south . Obviously the food n drink is expensive especially Dublin . The prices up north in sterling that's alot . I'm from tge South of Ireland Cork . The prices wouldn't be as high up in Dublin or The North

[@wherearewe-yt]

There are definitely cheaper options, but I do think we went to some pretty popular "tourist" spots where they charge a bit more. And Darcy's felt pretty posh, compared to the places we usually frequent! Hahaha. We've only been to Dublin once, about 7 or 8 years ago. We need to go back at some point. We've heard great things about Cork! I used to work with a guy from there. Hopefully we can see a lot more of Ireland in the future.

[@martinkelleher5662]

@wherearewe-yt Cork is the real Capitol of Ireland nevermind Dublin haha . 😄. I'm pretty sure there are other more fancy but less expensive restaurants than ur typical tourist trap where they charge a small fortune get out n about don't fall for it .

I'm from Dublin and love "Norn Iron" but you can't beat a full Irish, Ulster fry normally comes with a beef rather than pork sausage. Beef sausage is not my favourite. So Full Irish wins. I also cant understand a word they say also and I'm from our little Island in the rain

[@wherearewe-yt]

Hahaha. Didn't know that about the sausage! Any fry-up with soda bread and a potato farl has our hearts. We haven't been to Dublin in at least 7/8 years, but when we return, rest assured, we'll be having a fry-up there as well!

Rubbish man, An Ulster Fry traditionally has Pork Sausages, Ive NEVER been served an Ulster Fry with Beef Sausages in 50 odd years (nothing wrong with a beef sausage) The Ulster Fry beats the Irish fry hands down since we have Soda Farls and Potato Bread, The Irish Fry is basically an English Fry, You need to come up and have a proper Ulster Fry cos someone gave ye a wrong steer.

[@RickyT15]

Have lived in NI my entire life I have never had ulster fry with beef sausage anywhere. Some places may do it but never seen that. Ulster fry has always been my go to. That is just pure false information. A fry without soda or potato bread is just a fail.

Pity old authentic Belfast is long gone now it’s just full of junkies and homeless now mad to think that in the hight of the troubles homelessness was never a thing. Sad you went to maggie mays always been over priced, that to me isn’t an Ulster fry it was a fry with potato and soda bread! Every house is different but what made an Ulster fry in my mums house was Bacon or frying ham, steak sausage or pork/ pork & leak but they had to come from a butcher not a packet in sight 😉 Veg roll soda potato bread a scotch pancake black pudding a mug of tea 👌😉 as for the Belfadt bap that thing looked like a crusty roll where as a Belfast bap is much larger, when there wasn’t much money about you would get a bap and slice it to have with a cup of tea either some butter on its own or a bit of cheese or ham if you had the money, where as the work force especially when young you would of got a Belfast bap and a bag or two of tayto to put inside it and that done you for lunch. The Pastie, pasties have Changed over the years and many including myself stay away from the pink ones because they kill you eith heart burn and a lot of places now the pasties are tiny, a pastie was made up of all the left over chips and I guess sausages where as now it’s old chips and sausage spice hence the pink colour. Years ago there were proper old greasy spoons we call them in London little cafes and stew shops lol you would go in and get an Ulster fry for like £2 or the stew shop a bowl for a pound pipping hit with a Belfadt bap to dip in to the stew or soup mmmmmm😋 Belfadt used to be full of butcher shops plus we used to have Bacon/ pork shops where it only sold pork, mum used to go to Mcormics and get the frying ham I think they were big slices of top tank gammon and bacon ribs god we all love bacon ribs my mouth is watering now thinking of them lol it is sad because a lot of Belfast now is just touristy the soul of the place is well gone. If your still here try the Veg Roll you can even get Veg sausages and yes it’s not made of just vegetables lol veg roll is my favourite when my grandad came to England to visit the suitcase would be filled with soda potato bread sausages veg roll and Dulse lol it’s a seaweed thing again if you are still here then go to sawyers at the back of boots chemist 😉👍 good luck

[@wherearewe-yt]

Thanks for all the info! We'll take an excuse to go back and try another Ulster Fry. We absolutely loved all of the potato and soda bread we had on this trip. We had a full soda in our first Belfast video as well. OH man...so damn good. I imagine a home cooked Ulster Fry with everything, can't be beat. Belfast is nothing compared to Vancouver and Seattle! We just finished filming there, and as beautiful as these cities are, we'd never seen so many junkies in our life. Vancouver had people passed out, face down in the pavement, EVERY where you go. Didn't even know if they were alive or dead. All of them just shoot up in the streets because drugs are de-criminalized. Absolutely nuts! We're gone now, but we'll have to try a veg roll next time. I remember hearing about them! Would have been nice to feature in the video. Though to be fair, the video was too damn long as it is...hahaha.

[@wherearewe-yt]

I wouldn't say the addition of a a hashbrown no longer makes it an Ulster fry. It has literally everything else an Ulster Fry would have, does it not? What really seems to set an Ulster Fry apart from the rest, is the addition of the potato and soda farl (which this had). Neither the hashbrown nor the pancake are traditional, but it doesn't take away from the fact that every other ingredient is there. If we had just set those aside on a plate, would it now not be an Ulster Fry? Haha. If we've learned one thing, traveling all over the UK (and part of Ireland) is that fry-ups differ greatly, not just from region to region, but from restaurant to restaurant. If we polled our North Irish audience on what they have on their Ulster Fry, we'd get a dozen different answers (we've already had plenty of conflicting information in the comments).

Ireland has never been a completely independent country.... For many years it was England 1000 years ago and then it was brought into a Union for for hundreds of years, until independence and then Northern Ireland was made to keep for the UK. I find it so strange today how people act as if Ireland is this separate this than the UK stole..... No.... Revisionist history. The people of England, Ireland, NI, Scotland and Wales are all the same and in fact Celts in Ireland were pushed to small areas, so you'll find that people are pretty related all over. Like how Northern and western France, Northern Germany and even Norway has a lot of bloodlines in the UK and Ireland. People need to stop thinking that history only existing the past 100 years.

Virtually no european country until the 17th century was a unitary state.the King only controlled london in england and England was more united than most.Germany and italy only united in the 19th century and the scottish king only had real control over the central belt.

[@aodhanmonaghan4664]

Not entirely true. Ireland was independent as a number of kingdoms prior to the repeated attempts to conquer it by England. At no point in time has Ireland been part of England however. The first few centuries saw nominal English rule in the Dublin area. After that the Lordship of Ireland was created and expanded. This was then upgraded to the Kingdom of Ireland. In 1801 it joined the Kingdom of Great Britain to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Meanwhile the Kingdom of England was part of the North Sea Empire in the 1000s ruled by the Kingdom of Denmark. It was later part of the Angevin Empire ruled by the Dukes of Normandy. One thing that schools don't effectively teach, is that much in the same way there was a difference between the UK and the British colonies, so too was there one between the Angevin Empire and their extra land abroad in Britain. Until the 1500s the English monarch used the title King of France. For a few centuries after the Norman Conquest, the rulers saw themselves as one of two rivals for the Kingdom of France. They just had England as an added bonus. It was after the loss of Calais and the solidification of their rivals hold over France that made the monarchy change their gaze from Paris to London, which is also around the time they changed the legal language from Norman French to Middle English, effectively embracing their consolation prize ruling over the foreign folks who's land they ruled over. In 1707 England lost it's independence along with Scotland.

We also tried plenty of regular Irish dishes in this video (Irish stew, Lamb shank etc) so that's why we put both flags. Thanks for watching though.

I wouldn't say it was "very expensive" for a sit-down restaurant. A roll would maybe be £3-4 pounds if you got a single ingredient on it (bacon or sausage). This had three. We spent about 9 days there, and didn't see a single £3 roll. The milkshake was a bit pricy, though!
